Little business was expected today. Interest centered principally on the floor of the house and senate cham- bers and in the_galleries—a mass of color, its membership made up of members of the White House family, diplomats, families and friends of con- gressmen, and the populace crowding the public galleries. Senator Gallinger and Senator Kern, Republican and Democratic floor leaders, respectively, were nam- ed senate members of the joint com- mittee to. notify President Wilson that congress was ready to hear him.

Foremost is completion of President Wilson's railroad legislation program left unfinished at the last session with the passage of the Adamson law.
